Explanation:

To solve the crossword, we analyze each clue with the word bank:

Across Clues:

1. Conquerors/explorers for Spain (seeking land/wealth) → Conquistadors (not in word bank? Wait, word bank has “Hernan Cortes”? Wait, recheck: Word bank includes “Hernan C” (likely Cortes), but clue 3: “Conquerors and explorers for Spain” → maybe “Conquistadors” but word bank? Wait, maybe typo. Wait, word bank: “Mission, Missionary, Coronado, Hernan C, Quartered, Cabeza De Vaca, Colonization, Glory, God, Alonso de Pineda, Presidio, Trade Rou, Estavenico, Viceroy, Friar”. Wait, clue 3: “Conquerors and explorers for Spain” → Conquistadors (but not in word bank? Wait, maybe “Hernan Cortes” is part, but maybe I misread. Wait, clue 5: “Explorer shipwrecked in Galveston, enslaved by Karankawans” → Cabeza De Vaca (matches). Clue 8: “Reason to explore (rumors of this in New World)” → Glory (or “Gold”, but word bank has “Glory”). Clue 11: “Churches wanted converts for ___” → God (matches). Clue 13: “Person sent on religious mission (promote Christianity)” → Missionary (matches). Clue 14: “Stationed/lodged (past tense)” → Quartered (matches). Clue 16: “Explorer who captured/killed Aztecs” → Hernan Cortes (word bank: “Hernan C”). Clue 17: “Military post/guarded settlement (Spanish control)” → Presidio (matches). Clue 18: “Immigrants loyal to mother country” → Colonization? No, “Colony” but word bank has “Colonization” (maybe).

Down Clues:

1. “French Explorer tried Mississippi, landed in Texas” → Alonso de Pineda? No, French: maybe “La Salle”, but word bank has “Alonso de Pineda” (Spanish). Wait, word bank: “Alonso de Pineda” → maybe clue 1 is him? Wait, clue 2: “Spanish official to rule land” → Viceroy (matches).

Let’s solve a few key ones:

• Clue 5 (Across): Explorer shipwrecked in Galveston, enslaved by Karankawans → Cabeza De Vaca (word bank has this).
• Clue 11 (Across): Churches wanted converts for ___ → God (word bank has “God”).
• Clue 13 (Across): Person on religious mission → Missionary (word bank has “Missionary”).
• Clue 14 (Across): Stationed (past tense) → Quartered (word bank has “Quartered”).
• Clue 16 (Across): Captured Aztecs → Hernan Cortes (word bank: “Hernan C”).
• Clue 17 (Across): Military post → Presidio (word bank has “Presidio”).
• Clue 18 (Across): Immigrants loyal to mother country → Colonization (word bank has “Colonization”).
• Down 2: Spanish official → Viceroy (word bank has “Viceroy”).

For example, if we take Clue 5 (Across):
Question: Which explorer shipwrecked in Galveston and was enslaved by the Karankawans?

The explorer shipwrecked in Galveston and enslaved by Karankawans is Cabeza De Vaca, as per historical records and the word bank.

Answer:

Cabeza De Vaca (from word bank: “Cabeza De Vaca”).

If you need a specific clue solved, let’s pick Clue 3 (Across):
“Conquerors and explorers for Spain who looked to obtain more land and wealth for their country.”
From history, these are Conquistadors, but word bank: Wait, word bank has “Hernan C” (Hernan Cortes is a conquistador). But the word bank’s “Hernan C” fits. Alternatively, maybe the answer is “Conquistadors” (but not in word bank? Wait, recheck word bank: “Mission, Missionary, Coronado, Hernan C, Quartered, Cabeza De Vaca, Colonization, Glory, God, Alonso de Pineda, Presidio, Trade Rou, Estavenico, Viceroy, Friar”. So “Hernan C” (Hernan Cortes) is a conquistador, so the answer is Hernan Cortes (abbreviated as “Hernan C” in word bank).
